Apparently I Never Introduced Myself?

Cochins are supposed to be really docile too! Russian orloffs are also great

Hi ! Thank you! I never heard of Russian Orloffs I will have to search it! But Cochins are big and beautiful as well! Is that what you have ?

Faverolles have a sort of goofy personality. I really enjoy them.

Lol oh my that sounds adorable!!! Can you post a photo?

My friend has Russian orloffs. I had a Cochin cross once and she was very sweet

I agree with @ValerieJ if this is your first time owning chickens I might be good to wait a year or two before you take on a rooster. They're AWESOME, but they can be a real challenge during their hormonal teenaged phase.

If you aren’t interested in eggs, Seramas are a wonderful choice. For big chickens, Orpingtons, austalorps, and Easter egger are good choices.

Wow ok! Thank you! I will do a search on the Seramas! I never heard of them! You have a photo?

Ohhhhh that sounds reasonable! Will I have any problem later on introducing a rooster with the girls once I decide to?

Yes! Orpingtons. I have Buff, Lavender and Australorps and with the exception of one particularly crabby BO, they are all good candidates for your purpose.

Buff orpingtons are some of my favorites! They are sweet, gentle lap birds that are great layers and just pretty birds.

If this is your first flock, and you want peaceful, don't get a rooster. I say that, but I've never had a Faverolle, and maybe they are different. Just saying a rooster is a whole different level of complication.

Lol thaa as no you! But great idea! I’ll wait then on rooster! I definitely want calm! And there’s only 3 of us so I don’t need a huge flock of chickens ! But I do love chickens!

@ParadisedivaChic Faverolles are pretty mellow chickens. Even the roosters are docile in my experience.

You know I like to keep at least between 4-6 hens... i read you can always introduce more later.

We have s farm not to far from us and I saw the Buffys they had and they are sooo beautiful as well! They seemed mild and easy going and curious of our presence ... Big beautiful girls to! Lol
